Marvin Daniels, 63, is now held at the Placer County Jail on charges including brandishing a weapon, making criminal threats and violating his probation, according to a news release from the Auburn Police Department.

Just before 12:15 a.m. Thursday, officers were sent to the area of Gold and Virginia streets after learning of a man threatening someone with a chainsaw, police said.

Daniels chased his roommate down a hallway to a bedroom, then went outside the home, removed a screen from the victim's window and held the saw inside, the release says.
